The first thing you should do is just take it easy, sleep on it. Give yourself a few days, a week or two to come to terms with what has happened. Your next exam is six months to a year away. Dr. Jack has more advice in this video, What Do You Do If You Fail Your Medical Board Exam?
ABPM Addiction Medicine Initial Certification Examination Scoring and Format
The computer-delivered Addiction Medicine Certification Examination primarily consists of 200 questions delivered in four one-hour time blocks administered over four hours and thirty minutes, including a 15-minute tutorial and a 15-minute break. Addiction Medicine Examination questions are all multiple-choice, single-best–answer with four or five possible responses. Questions may contain a clinical vignette, an experimental or epidemiological observation, a definition or classification, an administrative problem, an application of a principle or regulation, or any situation which might be faced by a Specialist in practice. All questions are weighted equally. You will find it to your advantage to answer all questions; there is no penalty for an incorrect answer, i.e., wrong answers are not subtracted from right answers and there is no advantage in leaving a question unanswered. The ABPM Addiction Medicine Initial Certification Examination consists of single-best-answer multiple-choice questions. Example of a single-best-answer multiple-choice question format:
A 44-year-old woman presents with an alcohol use disorder. She tells you she previously failed treatment with disulfiram prescribed by her internist. You prescribe naltrexone, and after 8 weeks of treatment, she happily reports a significant decrease in alcohol intake. You recall studying that people with this certain gene variant respond better to naltrexone treatment. Which allele would cause a patient to respond better to this treatment?
◯ A. Dopamine beta–hydroxylase ◯ B. Human dopamine D2 receptor E8 A/A ◯ C. Ankyrin repeat and kinase domain containing 1 rs1800497 ◯ D. Dopamine active transporter 1 10/10 repeat homozygotes ◯ E. Opioid receptor mu 1 A118G
